I think what some of us are saying / asking is how are you forming that opinion….because he barely played any minutes and some of those minutes were whilst trying to carry on playing whilst being injured. He looked half tidy pre-season, exciting v Hull, less so v Sunderland, decent against Cov (cup) etc.
Theres a big difference between “he wasn’t the answer before his injury” and “I’ve not seen enough to judge”, isn’t there? Maybe it’s just the way you’ve worded it??? ?
